Cawfee,Tea and Hot August nights

[Delmonico]

It's a small thing, but today I'm headed out to on a Hotdog quest.
Chicago style, and Root Beer.
  Portillo's recently open a Kissimmee location.
It has been on my must do list since they opened 

 

Should stop out here and get some local made on that are good on a plain bun with mustard, you don't have to hide them.    Always tell that to lost Chicagoians who complain we ain't got no Chicago place.

Well, here is the scoop...Portillo's isn't up to the hype 
I'd give it 5 on 1-10 scale. eh? maybe 4, considering the fact the dog was bearly lukewarm at best... even though they are made to order with fresh poppy seed buns and fresh veg's.
even moderately HOT they weren't The onion rings?  I've had way better

Hey Coffinmaker. I suggest we do Willy's in-town again rather than Portillo's when you come back down. Having scouted Portillo's I probably won't go again.
Willy's is a solid 8 on the scale....

The quest continues for a # 10-hotdog establishment.

I've been to a Portillo'a in Wisconson several years ago. It was not a good experience and I never would go back. It's highly overated IMHO.

You seekers of hot dogs just need to come here, we'll cruise around all day from town to town, pick up some buns and mustard 'cause that is all you need.  We'll go to our farm, build a fire of good hard wood and I'll let you cut a stick.

Either way, looking forward to seeing you guys in October!

Hit 100 again today, supposed to stay hot far another few days, then start cooling off to normal temperatures. Worked today, it's really nice having a job I truly enjoy.

Cooling off here, supposed to be lower 90's. 

Had a wreck last night, was out with the dog and was sitting in the lawn chair when poof, I was trapped, could not get my phone and didn't want to yell at mid-night.  Beat on the side of the trailer, she came out, nope, she took dog in and brought out the walker, nope, then she brought the butcher knife and I cut the front nylon with out changing my voice and pulled it apart.  Got out, legs are not strong anymore, that sepsis in my back kind of did that in.

Evening all.

Been busy out here. Had a fire Wednesday, which has occupied our time since. Finally called it controlled today. The first two days I pumped over 25,000 gallons of water for it. All that for 3 acres, started by logging equipment.

The wet summer continues here. MUST be due to global warming. Tried to finish mowing before the rain started, got 2 rounds around the front yard before the barely sprinkle became a downpour.

Had my big tractor (AKA "Big Alice" the Allis Chalmers 190XT) running again yesterday. Been down over 2 months, had the injector pump and injectors rebuilt ($$$$$ and 6 weeks in the rebuild shop). Still have a few pieces to get bolted back on, but it's almost there.

Took Rita for an MRI today.

Recovered from the chair disaster.

Not much else, leftovers for supper for me, she's ordering delivery pizza.  As bad as places are lately I prefer my own leftovers to even mid price places Can't see paying to much for crappy food.
